FunkyTown.........Your picture totally fits!!!!!!!!!!! That is so your personality.........haha.

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo?

I am not LDS and heard of the Forums on this site. My room mates are lds, and I admit curiosity played a huge part.

I have seen a few of his shows and feel the same as LM. Of course the things he does is fake, but there is still the whole creepy factor.

Things are good now between us I sat down with her and let her know where I was coming from and how I felt. I was born in Shepparton , moved to Philly as a teenager around age 16. It sometimes comes out...

I am Australian. . so no need to apologize.

Do you have to be mormon to be humbled?

I read the JSH in the book of mormon already. And have started on the first work and the glory. I guess if I don't get what im looking for out of that I will move on to the other resources. Thanks guys tons for giving me ideas. I really appreciate it.

Does anyone know of any books about the lds religion that simplify things. I have read things about the church and I understand it. I just want to find something more that is more elaborate. That actually explains instead of states. I understand the beliefs and know of the things you do and why. I want to know more about the history, the creation of the church and maybe books on comparisons of The lds religion against others. I am agnostic and have been recently introduced to the mormon church. I don't attend but I have to say my curiosity has gotten the better of me.

Where is that Board located?

I have been to those sites. They were very helpfull with telling me beliefs and what not. But I am looking for something that has a church history type deal. Like info about Joseph Smith. I was told he was the reason the church was created?

That's awesome. What area does she want to go into? Or what is she wanting to go into?

It's kind of one of those hopefulls but not sure its going to happen.

I am working on getting my doctorates for Child and Adolescent Psychology.

Im Agnostic as well and know where you are coming from about the whole reaction you get from people. I am always asked how I can have no godly guidance in my life. I have looked as well on the internet about the lds faith and get nothing but anti mormonism info . In my opinion there are those so dead set in their own faith, it makes them blind to others. Everyone is able to chose the religion they want to belong. We just need to take it in stride and remind ourselves what we believe in , what ever that religion may be.

Humbleone, you from Oz? Just wondering with you dropping the mates in your reply Reply With Quote Sorry goofball , but that one went way over my head. Want to elaborate? I agree with Maureen, that there needs to be a LOL button. LM you crack me up. The missionaries came over last night, I didn't have the heart to call them and tell them no. I informed my roomate though I didn't want her around. I was still upset about it. The missionaries were really cool. I explained to them about my life and My beliefs and just had a good conversation with them. My remaining mates know what is going on and tonight we are setting up compromises. My other friends have told me that isn't fair to me, but In return I told them that it is fair to my mates though. I am the one who chose to live with them. I respect their beliefs and the way they live and vise versa. So I am going to give them the benifit of the doubt and trust that she will back off and let me do it on my own. With me its like when you tell a child to do something they automatically rebel against it just because you told them to do it. If they only let me come around and actually understand the things they believe in, it might just happen. I have so many questions about the church and the answers the missionaries gave me confused me. Does anyone know if there are any books that there that simplify the mormon church. Like Lds for dummies? haha I know that sounds stupid but its the only thing I could think of.

You guys are hilarious. When I saw the message I called her and told her "thanks- but no thanks". That I had already made plans for the evening and she got all tyrant on me. I have been around for family home evening and I really do enjoy being a part of that. I have talked to the 3 room mates of mine that are lds and let them know where I stand. I grew up agnostic and am always open. When they asked me a few weeks ago to go to church with them I told them, when I am ready I will. Its not getting through to their heads that I am not ready yet. She got mad at me last night and gave me the number to the missionaries and told me to call them myself and cancel...ugh..I didn't because I felt bad and made my room mate happy by letting them come over and talking to them. who knows what will happen with that , but I know now all mormons are not like her...least the missionaries are not pushy. Thanks for helping me out guys.

Today when I came in the door from work I checked the messages left on the fridge. My room mates and I leave messages taken for one another on a board. There was a message from one of my room mates that is lds. She made an appointment for the missionaries to come over later this evening to "talk" with me. I have never encountered an lds person until moving in with my room mates, so I am still learning how she does things and am noticing the way she lives her life. I was very angry that she would so something like that without telling me. It seems a constant struggle with her to have her not push her religion on me. I am an open person but pushing it on me isnt the way to go about it. I was just wondering if anyone had any insight on what to do, or if anyone has been in this situation.

Just thought I would write a few things about myself. My name is Ashley and I am a world traveler. I am currently living with 5 roomates and going to school and working. I am from Philadelphia my parents as well as my 3 sisters live there as well. I am studying psychology and have a few more years left until I graduate. I heard about this site from a friend of mine who told me about the forums. I noticed it had a chat option and pop in every now and then. I am very active and outgoing and love having a fun time and living life and meeting new people.:)
